Another good day at the cape

Well, where to begin. Eh, just see the notes, will you!

Some small info though:

Scoters and teals went pass during the morning. Wigeons and pintails all day, in the evening high up and on broad front.

One flock of 18! great white egrets were soaring over land in the evening. Sweet!

Where are the juvenile skuas?

Some tit-invasion maybe?

Weather:

Weak wind today, mainly from NW. Sunny and warm.
